Sounds like you don't have /dev/lirc setup (using mknod). Try running
the install script (or the commands from the install section of the
Makefiles) on the destination machine.

Subject: Compiling on a different machine
So far, I've been really impressed with LIRC. It has far surpassed any
other IR program on any platform that I've tried, and is the only thing
that can read my remote.=20
That's the buttering up. Here is a snag I've run into:
My problem is similar to that of Jeff C. a couple days ago in the email
"problem with lirc". I am using lirc in a standalone music player that
has only a boot-disk-sized linux partition, so I can't compile lirc on
that machine. I tried compiling it on another machine but using the
kernel sources from the destination machine's kernel and tailoring the
makefile as much as I knew how so that it would work on the destination
machine (just changing install directories and the like). However, when
I try to run it on the music-playing machine I get:=20
lircd-0.6.3 : could not create socket
lircd-0.6.3 : Bad file descriptor
I don't get this when I run LIRC on my main machine. Unfortunately, I'm
not quite sure what the error is. If I knew a bit more about how Linux
works, I may be able to look at the source and figure it out, but that
hasn't helped. Any suggestions?
(for further information, LIRC is being used to run a homebrew radio
shack serial device attaching to irq 4/COM1. Both the receiver and the
port work, and when I modprobe the lirc_serial module it tells me that
it has autodetected an active low receiver.)=20

Thanks a lot for the quick replies. It turns out that I didn't have UNIX domain sockets compiled in -- tried to strip the kernel down too far and I wasn't going to be using networking. THanks for the help -- it works beautifully now. Sorry if that was in a help file that I missed.
